Abstract:
PURPOSE: A foreign material detecting method, a foreign material detecting device, a foreign material detecting system, and a storage medium are provided to perform a foreign material detection and a component analysis on the same substrate. CONSTITUTION: A foreign material detecting method is as follows. The moisture around foreign materials is selectively condensed by controlling vapor pressure surrounding a substrate. Ice crystals are generated from the condensed moisture by controlling a saturated vapor pressure curve when the foreign materials are not attached to the surface of the substrate. The surface of the substrate is optically inspected. The temperature of the substrate falls and the saturated vapor pressure, when the foreign materials are not attached on the surface of the substrate, is controlled to produce the vapor pressure.

An absorbing method and a storage medium are provided to decrease the time required for the vacuum suction without causing the fault based on the moisture. An absorbing method of the vacuum processing device including vacuum process room includes the following steps: the first pressure adjustment step which is the sub atmospheric pressure and maintains the pressure within the vacuum process room over 6.7Î102 Pa (5Torr) in the vacuum suction; the second pressure adjustment step which boosts up the pressure in the vacuum process room higher than the pressure of the first pressure adjustment step and lower than the pressure of the sub atmospheric pressure, following the first pressure adjustment step.
Abstract:
A cleaning apparatus and a cleaning method are provided to prevent a lowering effect in the quality of semiconductor devices by cleaning sufficiently components facing a narrow space within a substrate processing unit. A cleaning apparatus includes an injection unit and a suction unit. The injection unit injects a mixture of a material of a gas state and a material of a liquid state or a solid state to deposits(50). The suction unit sucks the injected mixture and the deposits. An injection port of the injection unit opens in a suction port of the suction unit. The cleaning apparatus further includes a pump to which the injection unit and the suction unit are connected. The pump includes a first impeller corresponding to the injection unit and a second impeller corresponding to the suction unit. The first impeller is disposed coaxially with the second impeller. A slope of each blade of the first impeller is opposite to a slope of each blade of the second impeller.
Abstract:
A substrate processing system, a substrate processing method, and a storage medium are provided to remove foreign materials from a substrate transferring unit by injecting high-temperature gas into the substrate transferring unit. A substrate processing system(1) includes at least a substrate processing unit(2) for processing a substrate and a substrate transferring unit(3) for transferring the substrate. A method for processing the substrate includes an injection process for injecting high-temperature gas into at least one of the substrate transferring unit and the substrate transferred by the substrate transferring unit. In the injection process, the high-temperature gas is injected into the substrate transferring unit before the substrate is transferred by the substrate transferring unit. In the substrate processing method, the high-temperature gas causes thermal stress on foreign matters attached to one of the substrate transferring unit and the substrate transferred by the substrate transferring unit.
